Have you seen the prata man?

I thought that i'd just take things like, oh the food we ate as well, since they are so iconic of Singapore and the time we spent here... so this one of for my cousin Ah Aeng and Oeij... happy National Day kiddos!!!


Prata... and teh peng!!! Does life get any better?

Peter's last day... so we brought him to Serangoon Road. Ananda Bhanvan's Jain meal.

I had paper thin tosai....


Oisin and Kongs enjoy a chit chat over lunch. I also took the background, it was so typically Singaporean.

One nation, one people :)
The nicest things about Singapore is its multiethnicity. I said to Jac, i just can't imagine the world where people are seggregated, it is just not part of my make up and that is probably Singapore's greatest acheivement, it's multiculturalism and that is really what i miss most about the place.

You can take all its shopping centres, and casinos and all that shite and dump it into the South China Sea, but leave me this precious, most beautiful of gifts. If LKY has to look back and think about one amazing thing he has done, it will be the multiculturalism. I know it is fragile and sometimes hollow, but you can't help but think, this is amazing.

And that is precisely what i loved about Indonesia as well. And it is even more mixed up there too. You will have people clearly of all different backgrounds and different hues and they will all speak Bahasa and be Muslim. From the really Chinese looking ones to the really Indian looking ones to the really Malay looking ones. It is even more mixed up there. And i so LOVED that too.

We are all one in the end, i think that is the story that South East Asia has to tell the world. We are mixes, islands, archipelagoes and peoples... can we accentuate the positive, please?

Pa poses too... he has masala rawa tosai.... i think they have about 20 kinds of tosai in Ananda Bhavans



Ma at a kopi tiam

Ghin has some pimk guava juice



Post Museum
I never got to the Post Museum. It is now closed for the time being. It was supposed to be the equivalent of Gyros. And there was supposed to be a swap shop at 4 pm that day, but because Peter was also leaving, i couldn't make it. BUT it saddens me that probably the only independent space in Singapore by way of doing thoughtful, interesting and alternative discussions has closed down.


Old and older Singapore



Backlane in Serangoon Road



Some houses c 1930. Not long for this world i think.

Geylang sepaku Geylang

Geylang Serai is the place i feel most at home in Singapore. Possibly because a vast majority of the population are still Singaporean and i speak the language they speak there - Malay. Also, it hasn't changed that much. OK, it has, but i'd like to think it hasn't. We ate at the new market there which used to be a little better than an open sewer. But it was our open sewer and we loved it. Geylang was heaving with people getting ready for Ramadan. On the table we have sup kambing, otak-otak, nasi padang and rojak. Drinkswise we have lime juice, Kickapoo and teh. It is hot - really hot. We are all pespiring and we can feel our clothes stick to our skin and bellies and thighs. Our hair is continuously in our faces, dripping and sticking too. The only thing that brings relief is a soak in the pool or a shower and an airconditioned room. No wonder when the boys came back, the first thing they said was, ah, it's great to be back in th cool weather again!. Singaporeans love th...

19.3.26 - 74 - Eulogy: What will survive of us is love

I wrote and read this for Pa at the service. It was in long hand, but I have it here typed out now. It is peppered with verses from the New Testament, because I was asked by the priest to refer to Jesus occasionally, so I made that concession. Big shout out to Ben and the Christian Community whom I spent many a delighted evening reading and discussing the Bible during Bible study class. =========================== Thank you everybody for coming here to honour the life of husband, father and legend which is Eric Sim Chin Seng. Pa crossed over on the 16th of March at 7.30 am. He went peacefully and gently. He breathed his way slowly past this life and on to the new one, leaving his bark, his body, which carried him and his indomitable spirit and endless capacity to love, for 81 years, to say farewell to one last time. This tribute is to you, for you, Pa, who always walked in the sacred steps of Jesus Christ and lived the best life which could be lived. Part I: John 1:14 "The word be...

I should try and love Singapore. And I have really tried to love it. Really. But life in Singapore is not real life. Sadly. The only thing which is real about it is my relationships with my family. I understand we lead very privileged lives. We live in a beautiful house and we live in Serangoon Gardens. I get to swim everyday. We never worry about where the next meal's coming from. Very importantly, we have our health and we have each other. These are all very good things, nothing to be sneezed at. But Singapore itself ... that's a different story. Where to begin? I cannot complain because we actually live in a very nice part of Singapore. It's it unique in all of Singapore. There is no other place like it. In fact the government should slap a preservation order on the place. It is an actual village. Ring fenced by the houses and the roads, it was possibly designed by the British Army as a defensible position. Maybe they didn't mean to do it, but it is that way neverthe...
